JWST Science Working Groups

JWST Science Working Groups are collaborative teams of scientists who study the James Webb Space Telescope’s capabilities and research its potential discoveries. They help define key science goals, develop observation strategies, and analyze data to maximize the telescope’s scientific return. These groups encompass experts from various fields like astronomy, planetary science, and astrophysics, working together to plan and prioritize observations of phenomena such as distant galaxies, exoplanets, and cosmic phenomena. Their efforts ensure JWST’s observations are scientifically valuable, well-organized, and aligned with the most pressing questions in space science.
